Right. The point is that - under the "infection" analogy - people's "ultimate" values change a lot less. How much they change depends on the strength of people's memetic immune system - and there are some people with strong memetic immune systems whose values don't change much at all.
I'm not sure I follow you.
Are you saying that some agents change their values less often than others (or equivalently, are less likely to acquire "infections")?
